Since March, when Discovery+ debuted the three-part docuseries Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed, which examined the celebrity favorite once attended by the likes of Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner and Chris Pratt, there have been very real repercussions for its members. “I started to kind of panic — I was starting to worry I was in a cult,” one woman says. Their comments and those of experts are featured in a new fourth episode of the series, which will premiere after a re-airing of the original ones, which looked at the church’s scandals, especially the unexpected 2020 departure of pastor Carl Lentz, who was once close to Bieber, after the clergyman had an extramarital affair. — Raechal Shewfelt

WATCH IT: Parasite star Song Kang-ho delivers another winning performance in Broker

Black market adoptions might not sound like fodder for a heartwarming road movie, but that’s a trick that the new South Korean drama, Broker, deftly pulls off. Bong Joon-ho’s regular leading man, Song Kang-ho, plays an adoption broker who sells abandoned babies to childless couples for a sizable profit. But the latest child in his care comes as a package deal with the infant’s mother, who wants to have a say in which home her son grows up in. Also in the mix are a pair of undercover cops looking to shut down this illegal operation, as well as Song’s business partner, played by Gang Dong-won, who has mixed emotions about this line of work. Broker is the latest film from Cannes-winning filmmaker, Hirokazu Kore-eda, who has demonstrated a knack for creating unlikely families out of eccentric characters in his past work. — Ethan Alter
